Allegri pleased with Ronaldo despite goalless Juventus debut

Cristiano Ronaldo may have failed to score on his Juventus debut, but coach Massimiliano Allegri was still pleased by his star signing's performance in the 3-2 win at Chievo.

Having netted in each of his final 10 LaLiga games for Real Madrid, Ronaldo could not register on his Serie A bow despite taking eight shots during the game.

His team were 2-1 down with 15 minutes to go until levelling courtesy of Mattia Bani's own goal, and the Bianconeri ultimately claimed all three points through Federico Bernardeschi's stoppage-time winner.

Shortly before Bernardeschi's goal, Juve had seen a potential clincher ruled out by VAR as Ronaldo had possibly handled and then collided with goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino prior to Mario Mandzukic heading in.

However, although Ronaldo was not involved in any of the Juve's three goals, Allegri saw enough to speak glowingly about him afterwards.
